Topic: The SoR Summer Community Project? (Read 4418 times)

Hey Guys, I've been away for quite a while due to school work, but recently scoring an unconditional offer into a Artificial Intelligence and Computer Science has take a lot of pressure of my exams.

When I was last active on the forum, well the only time I was ever active on the forum, there was a summer community project being planned, I even started prototyping some boards for it although I never got very far and didn't write anything up. I was wondering if this is still going on? or if anyone has done any more for it?

Hey smash, I am thinking about a wheel encoder module if that is still availabe

What do you think

This is a sensor board, not a real module, that means it will be connected to a DC motor controller module or directly to the main microcontroller. If the motor doesn't have the encoder integrated, such a board would be a good way to add an encoder to the robot. I was thinking about building one, but I want more resolution and I prefer a motor with integrated encoder. Take a look at the available Wheel Encoder boards at robotic stores and build something similar.
